Interesting article on the increasing demand for degrees in Computer
Science. While UC-Berkeley has over 2,000, Missouri State University has nearly 300. Talk with Dr. Iqbal for any questions. 

Demand for computer science classes has overwhelmed many US campuses in recent years, with growth in student numbers not matched by similar expansions in faculty or facilities. UC Berkeley has nearly 2,000 graduates a year in computer science and data science, up from just 200 a decade ago; prompting the elite institution to create its first new college in more than 50 years.
